Constituents of Exhibitions
There are roughly 32,000 ‘constituents’ in the data. Most broadly, constituents are either of the type, Individuals or Institutions. Roughly 93 percent are individuals.
Each constituent is also assigned a role. 94% have the role of artists. The next most common role, with 4.3% of consitutents, is curator. Others include installer, competiton judge, designer, arranger, and preprer. Another field in the data set specifies the constituent’s role in the press release; this field includes a few more, uncommon options.
The vast majority of constituents are listed in a given exhibition only once. If a constituent is listed in an exhibition more than once, it is usually because he has multiple roles, e.g. Designer and Artist.
Over 60% of artists have only been exhibited once. The top 5% of artists make up 46% of the total number of individual artist exhibitions.
